(ISC)² partners with Acclaim, a product of Pearson, to deliver a standardized way of digitally representing your certifications and accomplishments in a verified manner. As an (ISC)² member, you can claim your badge for the (ISC)² certification(s) you hold. The badge is represented by a digital image that contains verified metadata to describe qualifications and the processes required to earn it. Your digital badge serves as a way for you to have your certification achievements recognized and for employers to verify your qualifications.

To claim your badge, look for the recent email that we sent you. You can also go directly to Acclaim create an account using the email that is associated with your (ISC)² membership. Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to claim your badge. If you can’t find the email or need help, reach out to our team at badges@isc2.org and we’ll be able to assist you.

You can also use the Acclaim badge links on your LinkedIn profile to provide direct verification of your certifications, allowing profile viewers to see immediate proof. If you don't like sharing your (ISC)² member number, the Acclaim verification does not require sharing it with those wanting to verify your certifications, unlike the verification page on the (ISC)² web site.

Now I'm waiting on my SSCP digital badge email, since I just received official notice this afternoon that my endorsement was successfully processed and I am now officially an SSCP!

Digital Badges are a great idea and so easy to use. I would encourage anyone who hasn't claimed theirs yet to follow the process to get their badge. It only takes a few minutes and is quick and easy way to convince clients (and prospective employers) that you are qualified for the job.
